[Cable doesn't waste much time signing in to Riverview's network, opting for audio as a means to announce himself.]

New arrival to the Quarantine. Name's Cable. [He pauses for a moment. He's checking stuff out as he roams around, both in the scenery and the network itself. He's been in different periods of time and has been dumped randomly in places before. So excuse him if he sounds fairly casual about all of this.]

Guessing there's no known way out of this place, right? [At least they aren't restricted to just the city/town by the look of things. A little exploring might do him some good, then.]

..Right.

[Indeed. Here, let him have a pause of his own before answering.]

What's it matter to you?

Edited 2018-06-12 23:24 (UTC)

I am naturally curious.

I'm from 2022 and I assume that you're from some time before Breakfast at Tiffany's came out.

[..She's calling him old, isn't she?]

How did you arrive to that conclusion?

Edited 2018-06-13 16:17 (UTC)

Right. I got AD and BC mixed up. It's what happens when you're a Tesla fan. I meant after that movie came out. What was it, 1960? 1961?

[Freya's race lives for a couple hundred years so she isn't technically calling him old.]

I figured you're from a time period before me based on the fact that most people here seem to be between the ages of 20 and 40. It's an assumption based off of what I know and have seen.

I like math.

Right. We'll call me an 'exception'.

[She wouldn't have been the first really. He's had white hair and the like since...well, ever. Always.]

Exception is the worlds worst nickname.

[Amusement dances in her voice.]

You don't want to tell me your age? That's cute.

Would make for a worse actual name. [He's surprised it hasn't been taken by a hero, villain, or fragrance company.]

More like I've never kept track.

Maybe we can come up with more awful names. It'd be a fun side project.

[Freya blinks.]

I know someone who's lived for like 500+ years and they remember how old they are. I understand the not counting but do you know what year you were born? You don't have to tell me. I'm just curious if you know.

Sure.

Not really. Spent most of my time in the thirtieth to thirty-first century from what I can remember.

Ah. That is not what I would have guessed.

Cool though. I bet you have some awesome stories.

Good try for just having my voice to go by.

Some are. Some aren't. The others blend together.

I'd only want to hear the memorable ones.

[Her voice is a little teasing.

She's fairly sure that anyone who lives a long life has to deal with being lonely too.]

[Cable can't help but sort of smile on the other end of his device; not some silly grin, but an unmistakable smirk.]

..Sounds like something my daughter would say.

[He's had his solo moments, it's true. His moral compass tends to put him in conflict with others from time to time. It can be...isolating, for sure.]

It sounds like your daughter has very good tastes.

I approve.

Usually does. If she ever comes here, make sure to keep that between us. Don't need her getting a big head.

That's true. Big heads make putting shirts on very difficult.

[Maybe Freya is a little strange.]

[Maybe.]

I have more issues fitting shirts because of my shoulders than my head...but I might know a couple people who would know what you mean.

Now I want to see your shoulders... and place a penny next to them.
